Staff representative Stephen Miller said that President Donald Trump has a “plenary authority” in connection with the deployment of the National Guard soldiers in Oregon.
It seemed that in an interview with CNN Miller indicated that the president had absolute power over such decisions. He said, “Well, the administration filed an appeal this morning with the ninth circuit,” and pointed out that the administration had previously won a similar case concerning the federalization of the Californian National Guard under the head of 10 US Code.
When Trump sent the National Guard to Los Angeles and other cities this summer, he relied on another legal basis, Section 12406 Heads of 10, which allows the President to bring the guard to federal service.
Miller then began to say, “The President has a plenary authority …” but cut off in the middle of the sentence and left his statement incomplete and attracted further control.

Trump said on Monday that he could use the Uprising Act, a law that entitles the President to deploy military forces on US soil if the courts and governors continue to block his deployment of the National Guard units in democratically led cities.
The Uprising Act is a federal law that grants the US President the power to deploy military or federal national guards in the United States to suppress domestic rebellions or unrest.
